Nickelodeon Features Same Sex Couple on New Show 'The Loud House'

Nickelodeon is finally showing that the network embraces all types of families through its new cartoon series, The Loud House, which centers around a family of 13. The main protagonist, Lincoln, is the only boy of the family and is growing up in a household with ten sisters. His best friend is Clyde McBride, who has two dads.

Actors Wayne Brady and Michael McDonald portray the voices of Clyde's parents, Harold and Howard McBride. They are typical overprotective parents, and they made their first appearance in last night’s episode when they took Clyde — and all of his things — to a sleepover.

The best part is that the show doesn’t treat these characters any differently, or even introduce them with a heavy asterisk about their marital status — they’re just an ordinary married couple with a child. Love is love, and family is family.
